    Abstract : Organization LUND UNIVERSITY Department of Surgery, Clinical Sciences Skånes University Hospital Lund SE-221 85 Lund Sweden Document name DOCTORAL DISSERTATION Date of issue: November 8, 2013 Author(s): Daniel Åkerberg Sponsoring organization Title and subtitle: Differently charged polypeptides and their impact on peritoneal and pleural postoperative adhesion formation Abstract: Abdominal adhesions are formed after previous peritoneal traumas where previous surgery poses the most frequent cause. An increasing number of clinical complications due to adhesions have been detected such as small bowel obstructions, female infertility, and pain. READ MORE

  4. 22. Antibacterial Surfaces for Biomedical Applications

    Author : Saba Atefyekta; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; contact killing surfaces; antibiotic delivery; Antibacterial surfaces; Infection; mesoporous titania; Elastin-like polypeptides; antimicrobial peptides;

    Abstract : Medical devices such as orthopedic implants are intended to serve for improved quality of life. However, clinical success cannot be taken for granted and the most common reason for failure is due to biomaterials associated infection (BAI). READ MORE

  5. 23. Antimicrobial polypeptides and lipids as a part of innate defense mechanism of fish and human fetus

    Author : Gudmundur Bergsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Animals are constantly threatened by vast numbers of microbes and have consequently evolved an array of strategies to prevent microbial invasion. In this thesis, I have studied natural antimicrobial lipids and polypeptides associated with immediate host defense. READ MORE

  6. 24. Isolation and characterization of novel intestinal polypeptides of the enteroinsular and brain-gut axes and of macrophages

    Author : Zheng-wang Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract has been recognized as our largest endocrine organ, from which many peptide hormones, neuropeptides and growth factors have been isolated. There is also increasing evidence that the gastrointestinal tract can be considered as our largest immune organ, from which many antibacterial peptides, cytokines, cytotoxins and chemokines have been characterized.

  7. 25. Protein Prenylation in Higher Eukaryotes

    Author : Ingela Parmryd; Patrick J Casey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Protein prenylation is a post-translational process where proteins become covalently modified by an isoprenoid group. This modification adds hydrophobicity to the proteins. For all prenylated proteins identified to date, the prenyl group is an absolute requirement for their biological functions. READ MORE
